Queensland Air Museum located on Caloundra Airfield, is best described as a time walk back in Australia’s aviation history. An outstanding collection of both civilian and military aircraft are spaciously exhibited within two hangars making self guided tours of the museum very easy. There is also the offer of guided tours conducted by dedicated museum staff members. Within these hangars can be found the icons of high speed flight, the General Dynamics F111 and Dassault Mirage 111. Representation of early and low speed flight, the Victa 115 Airtourior and DH 82 Tiger Moth sit amongst their high speed siblings as if waiting for any chance to defy gravity and go flying once more. These aircraft are but only a few of those on display indoors. Venturing outdoors are found standing proud as they await their turn for total restoration fine examples of ubiquitous aircraft of the Australian skies, the Caribou along with the Fokker Friendship F27 amongst many more aircraft . Queensland Air Museum with all of its wonderful aircraft collection and of aviation support paraphernalia such as one 4 wheeled boogie from the ‘Queen of the Skies’, the Boeing 747 is certainly a rewarding time walk back into Australia’s aviation history. And of course all this began with Wilbur and Orville Wright back in 1903.
